Corwin's Notes

=====

NGC 1837.  JH calls this "Scattered, more than fills the field."  This tells
us that JH's object is at least 15 arcmin across.  The position I've given is
for a clump of four stars near the center of JH's "cluster."

Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 1837

25" (10/10/15 - OzSky): at 318x; this cluster is primarily a very elongated N-S string of stars with some unresolved haze. Appears to have no filter response.  A few brighter mag 12.5-13 stars are involved and a dozen total in the 1.2' string.  Forms a 3' pair with NGC 1833 to the west-southwest.  A star cloud extends to the north with several mag 12 stars, along with many faint stars in the wider field.  This magnificent association (LH 26) is rich in bright and faint stars.
